Question

IT Services business: independent contractor vs employee

I am new to this site. Please diect me to other info if this has already been answered. I am taking early retirement and plan to set up a LLC to conduct IT database consulting and services work. I am learning about rules on whether a person is considered an independent contractor vs employee to a client, I’m wondering how difficult it is to prove independent status for IRS rules and how willing companies are to hire a contractor vs wanting to hire an employer to avoid issues with compliance? Just wondering how difficult it’ll be to attract contract work because of the rules? Was wondering if people had some experience with this and advice. Thanks,
